gotta love old junk

So my temperamental fireturd had pissed me off again. drove it to work yesterday, everything fine. go start it to go home, and no idle, gotta pedal it like a carbed car just to get it to run, after a few seconds it comes to life, idling harsh but running. hope a rotted vacuum line i found going to the intake will fix it. time for a part store run.

Re: gotta love old junk

vacuum line fixed, ran good for about 30 seconds. damn thing just wont idle, acts like too much fuel, slight puffs of black smoke when it trys to idle. the TPS was replaced about a year ago. maybe its bad again. opinions are welcome, help me out guys.
